Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. They may have released an EP on a major label, but apart from that, their only other recorded work was a song on a movie soundtrack – they were in existence for barely a year. The PopMatters source is reliable, but I'm not convinced about The Deli – this is a free magazine, only available in a limited number of places in New York City, so it's local coverage, and minimal at that. The number of Google Hits isn't very meaningful, because (a) there is now an electronic synthpop band with the same name, so the hits could be picking both bands up, (b) how many of those Google hits are from reliable sources? And the inclusion of a former member of Spacehog doesn't make this band automatically notable, that's a WP:INHERITED argument. So really the only good source is the PopMatters one, which isn't "multiple independent sources", and as the band has been defunct for 15 years, there isn't likely to be much more online. A very brief and superficial review of the band as support act on a local BBC website is the best thing I've found [3]. Richard3120 (talk) 13:49, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
